Israel Survived the International Court of Justice
(Ynet News) Dr. Matan Gutman - In essence, the ICJ called on Israel to adhere to international law and prevent actions that could be contrary to the Genocide Convention - actions that Israel currently already takes. None of the ICJ's 17 judges granted South Africa's request for an order to stop the fighting in Gaza. Furthermore, no ICJ judge mandated that Israel should minimize its military operations or allow some of Gaza's population to return to their homes, and no operative orders were given regarding the supply of a specific amount of humanitarian aid to Gaza. South Africa's cynical attempt to use the Genocide Convention against Israel and force an immediate cease-fire has failed.
